The quest continues for the Calgary Flames as they try to string back-to-back wins together for the first time since late October...it wouldn't come on Thursday night, as they fell 2-1 at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings. However, had it not been for Miikka Kiprusoff in net, this game could have been far more slanted towards the home side.

First thing's first for the Calgary Flames as they get set to take on the Los Angeles Kings tonight at the Staples Center (8:30 pm, Sportsnet Flames and The FAN 960). The Flames look to put back-to-back wins together after a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.

One of the Flames better wins this year was over this same Kings team back near the start of October. Calgary played relatively well and the combination of that with home ice advantage plus LA being on the second night of a B2B handed the Flames the victory. Since then, the two clubs have largely gone in opposite directions, although a recent cold snap has the Kings hunting for "the next piece" that will help them get back on top of the Western Conference standings.
